Mushrooms are a tasty ingredient for any meal. They're a popular item at restaurants, farmers' markets and super markets. Did you know you can make good money growing mushrooms for profit? Here's how:

Oyster mushrooms, a type of exotic mushroom, are enjoying a high level of demand. Last year in the United States, more than a million and a half pounds of exotic mushrooms were grown. And that high level of demand isn't expected to drop off anytime in the foreseeable future.

In addition to the high demand, they are easy to grow. They takes about six weeks from start to harvest. That's one of the reasons they're the perfect mushroom for the part-time grower. To be a successful grower, you don't need to have a full-time commitment. You can work a full-time job or have other commitments. If you can spare a few hours a week, then you have enough time to grow a crop of these profitable mushrooms.

So what kind of money can you make as a grower? Oyster mushrooms are currently selling for around $6 a pound. A growing area of around 200 square feet can produce 800 pounds per crop, or 5,000 pounds of mushrooms per year - worth $30,000 at current prices! That's why growing oyster mushrooms for profit is a great way to make some extra cash.

After your mushrooms are all grown, they're ready to be sold. Mushrooms generally do best when they're sold right away when they're fresh. If you can't sell your entire supply soon, freeze the remaining mushrooms, and you can sell them sometime in the future. For the ones you're ready to sell now, you have several ways to do it:

Restaurants love using fresh mushrooms. Visit some local restaurants and hand out free samples to their chefs. If they like what you have, you might see a lot of business come your way.

Farmers' markets are fun events that attract big crowds looking to buy from the best local growers. Set up a stand or booth and get ready to sell a lot of mushrooms. Spots often fill up fast, so if that happens, consider asking another grower if you can share a stand or booth with them.

Grocery stores frequently stock exotic mushrooms. Many get their mushrooms from out-of-state distributors. Because oyster mushrooms taste much better when fresh picked, stores prefer to buy local whenever possible.

You can make money growing oyster mushrooms for profit in just a few weeks' time. Oyster mushrooms are fairly easy to grow, and are in high demand. There are several places you can sell your mushrooms too. It's simply a great way to make a nice extra income.
